According to court records, Linton has a string of driving infractions, including driving without a license and driving on a revoked or suspended license.

Police said Linton was located a short distance away from the scene.

Linton was arrested and charged with six counts of felony Hit and Run and Driving on a Suspended License. She is being held at Riverside Regional Jail.

“At this time, alcohol and speed do not appear to be factors in the crash,” Lt. Damon Stoker with Hopewell Police Department said in a news release. “The driver and some of the victims were involved in a physical altercation prior to the crash.”

Longtime resident Kristen Johnson told CBS6 fights are becoming more and more common in the neighborhood.

“You hear a lot of yelling and arguing, I assume that they’re fighting,” Johnson said.

She now worries for her children’s safety after seeing her kids’ friends get hurt.

“The same group of kids and people that got hurt…my kids usually play with them…I’m just glad my kids weren’t over there today,” Johnson said.

If you have information that could help police, call Detective Michael Parsio at 804-541-2284 or the Hopewell/Prince George Crime Solvers at 804-541-2202.

It certainly sounds as if this were intentional, which should raise these charges to attempted, premeditated murder! You don’t drive a car up on a curb into a group of people and not expect to kill someone!
